Griffin Origin and Meaning
The name Griffin is a girl's name meaning "strong lord".
Popular for boys, Griffin is both a Latinized form of the Welsh Gruffudd and the English name for a mythological creature, half eagle, half lion. Sleek and stylish with a rugged edge, Griffin was also given to around 20 girls in the US
Could it catch on as a unisex name? Possibly, if it were to be featured in a popular book, film, or TV show, or used by a celebrity perhaps. For now though, it is nearly 80 times more popular for boys.
